Creator's Key Takeaways

we settled on the Norwegian joy for five nights and gathered some tips and tricks

the Garden Cafe is the buffet on both of these ships and it is located all the way at the top yep deck 16

if you know you want to race the go-karts book it as soon as you get on the ship

using a travel credit card will make things a lot easier

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Head to the back of the Garden Cafe for seating and to avoid crowds
โœ“Check the Freestyle Daily for buffet themes and restaurant times
โœ“Buy internet packages later in the cruise for discounts
โœ“Book go-karts as soon as you board for better availability
โœ“Reserve specialty dining early for preferred times
โœ“Bring grocery bags to line trash cans in staterooms
